We keep going round and round in circles, because people keep changing
the discussion.  There are two places where CC is used: crash recovery
and transaction boundaries.

In my opinion, any benefits that arise from CC regarding transaction
boundaries can be programmed in just as readily yourself, especially
with a decent system design.  If, on the other hand, you're allowing
massive updates from outside your system such as through ODBC, then CC
is probably a good idea.  Not to mention a lot of prayers.

In recovery from hard disk crashes, CC becomes a simple business
decision.  Do I spend the money on the disk and lose the performance, or
do I rely on RAID, mirroring and a UPS to do their jobs?
